West Approach 28th January 2017 – Cheltenham – He was given an interesting ride as he was well out the back even jumping the second last flight. He made stealthy headway on the wide outside and, whilst it is possible that the two leaders went too fast and thus flatter his third place finish, this was still an excellent run for a novice. He is proven on good going and should be a player in the Albert Bartlett on the strength of his performance here.
